has the usa is the protection of palestinian civilians must be the priority, but continue to support israel's own going more in the across the world around the clock. this is archie great to have your company for the use. our russia is wanting nothing european union shooting itself in the thoughts for proposal to use russian money for ukraine is given the green light. you foreign policy chief usa parrell is seeking to spend 90 percent of the revenue earned on frozen russian assets on aiden amunition for kids. must go safe to move or provoke decades of legal buttons. it to show this is an out of a statement in line with the movement towards the destruction of the illegal foundations of europe. in an international law. the europeans are well aware of the damage such
6:02 pm
a decision can bring both to their economy and to their reputation as reliable guarantors of the involve ability of property. the damage will be inevitable. the persons who will be involved in making such decisions, the countries that will decide this, they will become the objects of prosecution for many decades. yeah, well it's basically the easier resorting to assess release thinking to new lows. so found this front of the ukraine, as we know is the credit is really running dangerously low munitions. the help that it's expected from the us in terms of money and weapons, is stalling, as they can come to an agreement. they're. so e officials said, hey, what can we do vote, let's use the money that we froze from the russians. and this is exactly what they're doing. the proposal right now is to use the profit acquired from those assets and uh, from the war. and you can now, let's talk a little bit about these as what i was talking about. we have about $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bank that was frozen by the west . the majority of that money is held by a company euro clear in belgium,
6:03 pm
and they've made done their math. and apparently, all this money, this profit could yield them about 15000000000 up to 20000000000 euros after tags until 2027. so this is the money that they can use to fund the award to credit supply weapons. and all of that, this is what they're proposing right now. so, joseph burrell decided to propose this to e member states i sent to the country to a proposal commercial decision, a proposal for commercial decision to locate the bulk of these revenues, to do to be in union financial capacity. and this proposal is just about to locate 90 percent of these revenue to be beast facility on the tops will defy billions, not them substitution off, but adding to these $5000000000.00 revenues generated by disclosing assets in order
6:04 pm
to increase the military support to ukraine. so and so for so there he is, there he propose that we are getting reports right now that apparently the european commission has approve that plan even though there was supposed to discuss this and vote on this at the e u. leaders summit taking place on thursday and friday, but we are now getting reports of the european commission has approved it more of us to move like inside the u over this proposal. but originally the idea was yes, to use these assets to use this profit to help with build new crane for reconstruction, forces mandatory in a and some you do member states. we're agreeing with this that where that went along with that. but they didn't like the idea of it being used in any militarily, sort of ways. and it was, or sort of underlying that european commission impressively, that this really is ideal. hey, listen, only use this, was you mandatory and purposes. let's actually use it where we need it most to buy those weapons that you quite badly since they are not able to do it themselves.
6:05 pm
let's have the russian money do it to for them. and a lot of people, nobody appreciating all these new ideas that are so live on the line. keep simon recently. there is a growing discontent against fonder. lion, for improvising set in a you, diplomat, diplomat said fonder lions approach is particularly disadvantageous for smaller members. states that have more to gain from collective decision making. now we have all these countries that are not agreeing in terms of these assets being used to help buy weapons. but joseph morrell, for example, says, well, this is a brilliant idea of why, because it's not, they're not using the easy bunch of this money would go to a special fund that is called the european needs facility, which is a joke in itself to have the word piece in there and this fund runs all the budget, so it doesn't have to abide by the same legal standards or even be approved by the european parliament. but also this is really bad in terms of what it does for countries that want to, for example, hold their money in western reserve,
6:06 pm
is because this shows them, hey, if one day in the future you happens to disagree with the west. they can always seize your assets, use the profit he's in the european central bank before said that caesar, ross and assets will undermine confidence in the your current c, n e u markets. but apparently now joseph pearl says, well they're, they're back in the plan because it's only the prophets that we're using, but the message and the idea that they're sending through the world is exactly the same. this is again, another message we're hearing from experts. be careful when you're doing things like that. the sure of the global currents, you can actually go further and use east financial power to actively influence international developments. but this by work must be used wisely. because when, when i think it currents may stimulate dimensions of alternatives, and unless i forget that russian courts can always with tale aids, because that's a company that holds the majority of the frozen russian assets. the euro clear in
6:07 pm
belgium. well, actually, right here in moscow, they have the national securities that add up to 33000000000 euros. so russia could retaliate and then sees their assets. so we'll see how it ends up. and we're still waiting to see whether it was actually finally officially approved, or whether this will be discussed and put up to vote at the summit. on thursday and friday, a russian service man has gained access to us abrams tank after another one of the vehicles was destroyed on the buffalo fields of the ukraine conflict russians scouts detected the tank. i'm try this before launching a strike and mobilizing the come by the vehicle with a 2nd roll and strike, the soldiers destroyed the us supply. the abrams conflict. after the printing and troops inside sled, the scouts, some of us to reach the tank, inspected and retrieve equipment. russian soldiers can be seen here and getting inside. i'm inspecting the vehicle off close. in this video footage,
6:08 pm
we in fact managed to speak to the service men who took part in the operation a hold of someone. so it was very hard to see, but some movement was visible from so i spotted it and decided to destroy it. the 1st had landed in the track compartment of the 2nd tier met it's mark after which the tank caught fire and then the next drones which were sent by other guys finish it. it officer. after that the crew left the tank. when the weather got better, are super cam comrades and other aerial scouts were able to distinguish whether it was a leopard or an abrams, to make sure it was the praised american machine. but those are from that 1st and then i didn't even expect it to be an american story. i thought it was just any old tank, but it was an american tank. i felt sensational, seeing that the americans burned brighter and hotter than any other tanks. based on what was known if there's nothing special about this tank, despite how the west and ukraine praise it to show it and having sat in it, i can say that it is worse than our
6:09 pm
t ninety's our tanks. but it's not surprising that it is praise like this, and it was shut down by our colleagues using s p. v. drones. the tank drove out into the open. they wanted to push us and our infantry back, but they failed. the crew tried to run away but stayed close. they didn't make it far. the outside is riddled with shrapnel from their own mortar shells. it looks like tried to burn it themselves. we were the 1st ones to jump in to see it all to film, and i felt that the google is far from home biased when it comes to us selections. those are the findings of the media research center watchdog group. it's just released the reports which concluded that the check giant is actively promoting candidates, quote, aligned with its left fist values. for 16 years. google has utilized its power to help push to electoral victory the most liberal candidates regardless of party, while targeting their opponents for censorship. utilizing the many tools and its arsenal,
6:10 pm
google aided those who most closely aligned with its left his values from election cycle to election cycle since as far back as the 2008 presidential election. meanwhile, it targeted for censorship. those candidates who pose the most serious threat just to flash the watchdog fund, google begun that selection interference during the 2008 presidential race by promoting preferred candidates using algorithms. subsequent bullets, the m r c states saw at that's activity intensive, follow it, particularly in 2016 when google actively promoted the re clinton against donald trump, who goes to impact how search drastically in recent years, making it quote, ever more harmful to democracy. according to the media research center, restaurants life, no um, speak with talk video host, political commentator steve model is for joining us from new york and steve, thanks for your time today. the buyers are to be here. the buyers itself isn't
6:11 pm
particularly shocking. it's been pretty well documented, done the years, right. what is the scale of what, what's going on? i was laid off by the m r. c. i opening to. yes it, it really is. and again, they talk about the, the 41 instances over 16 years. i'm sure there's many, many more, and this intensified. i don't want to skip beyond 2008 when they favored god brock . obama over hillary clinton, disabling accounts all this reportedly of course, disabling accounts, favoring hillary and critical of iraq, obama, 2012. on the republican side when rick santorum, the senator from pennsylvania, republican won the iowa caucuses, a big victory for him. and then they started when you googled the rick santorum you would get anti gay that rick is anti gay and called him all kinds of terrible names with all kinds of terrible stories. and then in 2016, as you imagine,
6:12 pm
they went to bed for hillary, 1st hillary over her opponent and the primary, bernie sanders. and then hillary against donald trump. when that failed, when that failed, there was a meeting, and there's, there was the audio presented at the meeting, i believe, right part had the audio, the top executives of google, talking about how they have to do better. they can allow this to happen. trump supporters support fascism and nazis, and we have to have a better form of governance. and then they started going every 2 years, even after the congressional races. so they, they f as the feet, 2016, they up their game according to this report. and really, you know that a bit in increase their participation and their bias. just taking a step back for a moment. google is a private company, it's a big one, but it is a private one. on the other hand, that controls a giant part of the digital spear. does it show that have an obligation to be non
6:13 pm
partisan when it comes to politics? why should it as well? because it's protected by the same as section $230.00, which is a federal protection against various law suits. all the social media platforms are in this country. and that's one of the big, big, big issues. you know, they, they, the government, the congress, people that keep threatening and calling google executives in facebook executives in talking about all kinds of improprieties and threatening them with section 230, to revoke it to repeal it, whatever. but they never ever do. so as long as they're going to have government protection, then they have to what they adhere to some government rules. i believe not everybody believes that i believe they should have freedom. but when it comes to fixing things, when it comes to manipulating things on purpose, what people see when they search what people see, what when they go to youtube, because they on youtube as well. of course, what's on google news? when people go to google news,
6:14 pm
if they're going to be protected and have protection for they have a responsibility at least to try to present a fair apply for our platforms and not be so blatant in their bias. the report focuses on google and influence on us pilots. what about elections and in other countries the, you know, is it beyond the realm of possibility that there could be a significant impact there to, you know, i mean, the, why would, why would it be limited? we know that the government talks to social media companies all the time. this is a big topic right now in this country. they, they were just an argument before the supreme court. as a matter of fact, people say the government doesn't have a right to tell a good. so yeah, we shouldn't be allowed to go to these media the platforms and say, take down these cove, it stories on vaccines take down the stories that we feel are. yeah, there are wrong, or i missed information or this information. so if they're doing that,
6:15 pm
who knows what else they're telling them to do, or what google's executives feel motivated to do in their own bias. look, if they're going to mess with this country on purpose. what's to stop them from doing it for, for another country? i mean, i don't know that they do, but i don't know what would stop the, the, off the test i suppose in the us is the election this year. just months away. what do you expect from digital giants in the future? you know, well, their political significance continued to grow. will there be a crack done from governments and international bodies? you know, you look at the big 5, google amazon meta off of microsoft, the wheels so much power ton balance be obtained. no, i don't think a 10. i don't think it will be, and i don't think you necessarily need bad ones. i don't think you need a, a good story for hillary. every time you write a good story for her opponent or trump advice, i don't think it has to go that way, but you don't want to be. so the way to one side,
6:16 pm
right. right. but you don't want it this way cuz the, the, the media research center reports that now in 2024. when you go go, when you search republican presidential campaign website. if you put that in, you get married. williamson comes up to the democratic minor democratic presidential candidate who was still in the running against bite. and before he clinched, she was on some of the ballots. why would she come up? if you're googling, republican presidential campaign websites? you can have that, that you can have, you never get to have balance. you never get to have people unbiased, everybody's biased. but you can have this kind of waiting in your face to bed because the report also says millions and millions of votes for influence. they talked about global up financing, sitting watching those to the poles in one presidential election,
6:17 pm
paying for it. took that to go vote democrat, you can have that. just finally, steve. uh, do you think there's going to be an apology this week or next week? an apology from google. yeah. i've watched this. what's your holding my breath. that looks like a big, fat 0. doesn't that as the tag so much for coming on and giving us a, a sense of, you know, what is a big story and i'm sure there's going to be run out of occasions to follow on american television on video hosts the most for a live from new york city. thank you. the region in ukraine has decided to owner the infamous not see vet for any or a slab hook up with the metal scandal interrupted last year when the canadian prime minister applauded the boston s. s. veterans in parliament. you recall that here's how the ukranian council in question justified their tribute to the 3rd reich,
6:18 pm
cooperator a yellow slough hole, alicia division vet 2 and is to be decorated for a significant personal contribution to providing assistance to ukrainian armed forces in charitable and public activities. so it's not exactly clear what contribution 0 slap hung come made it to the armed forces of ukraine beyond forces service and hitler's watson. s ask alicia division of ukrainian nazis who spent world war 2, killing jews and our russian allies fighting against hitler along with us. in the west at the time he's 99 years old now and yeah, you freight is getting short on troops, but i still don't think they are calling up the 99 year old x that's from canada. yeah. to serve as count and potter. so about the only quote public activity that home god is actually known for these days is sitting in canadian parliament, well visiting ukrainian prime minister of live years with in all of canada as elected representatives. cheered as to how speaker introduced him as
6:19 pm
a guide we fought russians. totally ignoring the historical contacts that russians back then were allies of the west against hitler. we have here in the chamber today ukrainian canadians cleaning canadian world veteran from the 2nd world war from fort ukrainian independence against the russians. the guest su, pre regional council, is doing russian propaganda now ripping off this band aid on through those political career and putting hunger back into the spotlight with an award and the name of euro slide stetsco, whose name as an added bonus, figures and some online the holocaust studies courses as someone known for giving the nazis who seal of approval for their extermination methods used on jews. former house speaker spoke goes and explained that all. so hugo was his constituent and
6:20 pm
lived in his district. and he said last year that he had invited hancock to parliament. what actually happened road that clarified was that the canadian ukrainian congress lobby put forward honk his name, and the parliamentary protocol office had the whole list. that is by true those office with a fine tooth comb. before that invitation was sent out. not surprising that the russian embassy had a bit of fun with that fact. he was prime minister justin to domain bought to this house criminal to the parliament last year. as recommended by the current in canada and community the 5 months later, still that silent, don't you, of whom cause nancy post. no condemnation equals justification. teacher though, characterized as new fiasco, which was revealed alongside another new little bit of information that hunker had also been invited to a private end by only swa say in toronto with trios lewinski, and about a 1000 other of their closest friends. now the email, the invite for that came from to those office and that was linked to the canadian
6:21 pm
press also back in february. at which point the official opposition want to know why true though didn't come clean about all of this when he had a chance. months ago. now we know that he personally invited that same individual and he said that the former speaker had to resign or were doing the exact same thing. so will he hold himself to the very same standard method? he's not fit for off the leader of the off position is choosing to meet against the ukrainian canadian congress res. this conservative party no longer stands with ukraine, uses, choosing to not stand. we do not stand with ukrainians or not. and new, all teens of whiskey is talking about how they're ready to join you like right now, because the clean up in ukraine is going faster than expected. maybe that has
6:22 pm
something to do with crude inciting. the notification as one of the 2 goals of russia's military operation. in any case, it looks like they may have missed a spot over there at the turnip, all region. a lot of drama for a country that's already really high maintenance in cost to a lot of my is the weston's. well, it's kind of high drama that usually reads to a breakup long before marriage. rachel morrison taken us through that. now we also spoke to a finish journalist based in dalton boss who's on the view. the west silence was allowed naziism to flourish in ukraine. the waste of course, the issue here on the firing line because we don't here to go on donation. we hear silence official support for nazis, go to the years or full of minorities, and adults can be victims of a possible make nationalism. and that's why great is playing with
6:23 pm
fire may be even kind of a black man in the western leaders that even if you don't continue to support those, we will raise the these issues. and that will cause a house in the western countries where the integrated, the immigration population will react strongly. they are losing their home wrong. these, these support for the gradient, nazis will come wildly known in the western western countries. adding the red population beyond us put on protecting civilians must be a priority. what washington has said, directly in urging israel to delay any military offensive in the border city of rock 5 to ensure the safety of palestinians. however, at the same time, the u. s. is continuing the flow of weapons to it. so we acknowledge from the very
6:24 pm
beginning that israel has a fundamental right to be able to defend itself. and, and so we're going to continue to support them as a, as they try to do that, ensure that they have what they need to defend their people. but we also recognize the importance of ensuring that people remain safe and gauze and the 2 things aren't mutually exclusive or we've been clear about the need to prioritize the protection of civilians. so that, that should be a key part of any military, any plan, any, any type of operational planning to for, to account for and protect those civilians that are in the battle space. and again, we've yet to see such a plan, but we'll have an opportunity to engage the leadership here on that. so it's almost as it does have a plan. no one saw it yet. but anyway, it seems that these roles and vision into rough on is the matter when not if,
6:25 pm
despite growing global disapproval, the biggest concern was and remains the estimated 1500000 palestinians currently sheltering in the area. more than half of gas as population, in many swap, the worlds have been warning against invading such a densely populated region. but if not to the whole, these really prime minister takes into consideration any opinion from abroad. that would be american, america is sending conflicting messages from one hand. it says daunting fades. rafa and his monday phone conversation, for example, with nathan. yeah. who buys? and according to his administration, said, the a sold would be any state the us national security adviser also pointed. it would lead to more innocent civilian deaths and deep and humanitarian crisis in the in place. and yeah, who doesn't ignore this criticism? a high ranking is really delegation is off to the us. so present,
6:26 pm
and he's really plan off evacuation of gases before the operation and to call the american leadership as well separately is really defense minister also travels to the us next week to meet his american counterpart and clearly russell will be on the agenda. but at the same time, we just heard the us secretary of defense regenerating washington, his commitment to our israel no matter what, even before they. so n, he's rarely plan all for relocation guys. is 1500000 palestinians from ross or before the on slots. so why would israel care at all that decision has been made and there are no real obstacles to it though the hawk, we have an argument with the americans about the need to enter off on the not about the need to eliminate some off the need to enter rafa. we see no way to eliminate from us militarily, without destroying these remaining battalions. out of respect for the us president, we agreed on the way in which they could present their ideas to us, especially on the humanitarian side,
6:27 pm
which we have coal share in this desire to allow an orderly exit of the population and provide aid to the civilian population but i made it clear to the president in our conversation in the clearest way that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in rafa. and there is no way to do it other than the ground invasion within the hour. so confidence, in fact, america is divided over washington. the support of h ro, city are figures in the by the administration. and all of us officials say israel is breaking the law in gaza with the help of america and using american weapons, making washington accomplice and the pressure from congress president joe biden introduce a new policy last month requiring all countries that received american military supports to advise by us and international law, provided it to continue his backend of israel, secretaries of state and decides must endorse these roles, assurances, sons,
6:28 pm
before within the next 5 days. on tuesday, the us and best of it to israel privately told the state department of israel fulfills as obligations and that's part furious reaction across the american political establishment with officials calling the ambassadors assessment homeless, comical, unobserved, unclear, actually what decision will eventually be made. but in the meantime, to human rights organizations submitted to ad documents to the us government's claiming these rarely assurances are not credible. they accused israel violated international humanitarian law and urge the america to stop arm. it is well and a joints memorandum, base summarized as rarely violations, such as striking hospitals and ambulances, or preventing humanitarian aid, including us, funded from crossing into the gas the streets. we urge secretaries blinking and austin to consider the likely violations below when determining the credibility of these really governments assurances in response to n s. m. 20 ox fam,
6:29 pm
and human rights watch. believe a suspension of arms transfers to israel is necessary so long as there is an overriding risk that they are being used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and us law and policy. while president joe biden and others supporting arms deliveries for israel, se washington sends weapons to help israel defend itself and protect its citizens. in fact, american supports israel with all kinds of weapons and in much bigger amounts than it is needed for self defense. in 5 months of the war, washington improved and delivering more than $100.00 separate for and military sales to israel, including thousands of precision guided munitions and bonds. previous, the only 2 approved contracts were made. pub like, age more than
6:30 pm
a $100000000.00 worth. and it turned out the figure is much higher to versus $100.00. and that shows just how extensively washington is involved in the 5 month long conflict and gaza. it has so much criticism about, but only in wards about is where we leave things for another from the r t international user. and i'll say goodnight to do john peter scott, in 30 for all the stories making global headlines today get
